Light switch 2 gang both are 2-way.
The stair switch works ok at the top of stairs, at bottom stairs it only
works dependent on the position of the upstair switch.
I opened up and there appears to be a loose wire, can someone please
confirm that the yellow wire is needing reconnected as per image.

2 way 2 gang switch requires 6 connections, the yellow coming off is certainly the most likely explanation.

OK now sorted and switch working ok now, it was the yellow wire come loose.


You are not concerned as to why? The yellow wire was just sitting in a
light switch back box, perfectly sound doing it's job, then one day it
falls out.

I must have missed the acceptable time period requirements for cable
retention when I did the 17th :-)
